Donair Nova Scotia Style

Recommended Posts

Have to start with the bread and this one is Lebanese Mountain Bread-

Roll the dough out then stretch it over a bowl to get it really thin.

Then put the stretched dough onto a hot griddle.

Flip and done.

Now for the meat. Grind the beef 3 times and add the spices.

Knead for 20 mins. and form into logs that are about 3-4 inches in diameter. Tightly wrap to pack the meat.

Add the homemade donair sauce and a little Purple Crack just because. ;)

Never heard of a donair but after a quick google I’m intrigued. Looks damn tasty.

I really never actually had a gyro, Shuley but I do know it is usually done on a rotating vertical spit and the meat is sliced off that. The sauce for it is called Tzatziki Sauce and it has yogurt, cukes, sour cream and garlic all blended. :) Around here it is all Donairs.

The way I understand it is - they are pretty much the same thing... except when they aren't. ;)

Shawarma, gyro, donair - are used interchangeably (at least here in North America) - Donair seems to be mostly used in Canada and gyro is the more popular term in the US.

In the US, shawarma tends to be used for non-ground meats, where gyro is used for ground meats.

US Tzatziki sauce differs by region. Sometimes heavy on garlic, sometimes not. Sometimes has dill, sometimes not.

I believe in Canada, there are some tzatziki sauces that are sweet (mostly western Canada) and some that are more garlicky (eastern Canada)
